Trey Cabbage - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Released by Pittsburgh The Pirates released Cabbage on Monday.

Impact It's not clear whether this is the Pirates simply clearing 40-man roster space or if Cabbage might have a deal lined up overseas. The 27-year-old was a waiver claim by Pittsburgh in November after he slashed .209/.253/.337 with a 37.4 percent strikeout rate with the Astros during the 2024 season.

Claimed by Pittsburgh The Pirates claimed Cabbage off waivers from the Astros on Monday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Cabbage, 27, slashed just .209/.253/.337 with a 37.4 percent strikeout rate this season with the Astros. He's shown big power and some speed in the minors and the Pirates will hope they can get more out of the outfielder at the major-league level.

Optioned to Triple-A The Astros optioned Cabbage to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cabbage went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts upon being promoted from Triple-A on Monday, and he'll now head back to the minors after only two days with Houston. His roster spot will presumably be given to Ben Gamel, who was claimed off waivers from the Mets on Tuesday and is slated to join the Astros in Baltimore on Thursday.

Returns from Triple-A The Astros recalled Cabbage from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cabbage was returned to Triple-A after serving as the 27th man for the Astros' two-game series with the Rockies in Mexico City last weekend, but he'll be back with the big club just two days later after Houston optioned struggling first baseman Jose Abreu to their spring training facility. While he's up with the Astros, Cabbage will provide depth in the corner outfield and at first base.

Sent back to minors The Astros returned Cabbage to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Cabbage served as the Astros' 27th man for the club's two-game series in Mexico City versus the Rockies over the weekend, going 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI while starting in left field in Saturday's 12-4 win before heading to the bench for Sunday's 8-2 win. The 26-year-old should get the chance to play on an everyday basis as he heads back to Sugar Land.

Returns to Triple-A Cabbage was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Impact The 26-year-old was called up by the Angels on Aug. 25 and went 4-for-19 with a double, an RBI, three runs and nine strikeouts in 10 games. Cabbage will now return to Salt Lake, where he has a .307/.372/.595 slash line with 27 homers and 31 steals this season.

Starting in left field Cabbage is starting in left field and will hit seventh in Thursday's game against the Guardians, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cabbage was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Aug. 25, but he's started only five of 12 games since. However, the Angels placed Randal Grichuk on waivers Wednesday, which could give Cabbage some additional playing time down the stretch. In his latest stint in the majors, he's gone 3-for-13 with six strikeouts.

Recalled from Salt Lake The Angels recalled Cabbage from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Impact With Mike Trout (wrist) headed back to the injured list, Cabbage will come up from the minors to take Trout's place and provide additional depth to Los Angeles' outfield. The 26-year-old has slashed .406/.443/.688 with four home runs and 17 RBI across 71 plate appearances since being optioned to Salt Lake at the end of July, though his minor-league success has yet to translate into the big leagues.

AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to minors The Angels optioned Cabbage to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Impact Cabbage lost hold of his near-everyday role as well as his spot on the Angels' 26-man active roster after the club acquired first baseman C.J. Cron and outfielder Randal Grichuk in a trade with the Rockies on Sunday. Though the 26-year-old was versatile during his time in Anaheim with starts at first base and in right and center field, he hit just .206 with no walks and a 48.6 percent strikeout rate in 35 plate appearances. He'll get a chance to continue playing on a regular basis back in Salt Lake.

Sitting Saturday Cabbage isn't in the Angels' lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact The Angels appear to have fallen into a pattern of giving Cabbage a day off every other game, and Saturday marks a rest day for the 26-year-old. Mike Moustakas will start at first base for Los Angeles, allowing Eduardo Escobar to man the hot corner.

Shohei Ohtani throws first MLB shutout, homers twice over doubleheader

Pops first big-league homer Cabbage went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-5 win over the Pirates.

Impact Cabbage is hitting .333 (5-for-15) through his first six major-league contests. He was able to check off another milestone Friday with his first homer, a solo shot in the fourth inning off Johan Oviedo. Cabbage is likely to continue playing mostly against right-hander pitchers, and it appears the Angels are content to platoon him with a combination of Eduardo Escobar and Mike Moustakas at first base for now.

Hits bench versus lefty Cabbage is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact With southpaw Carlos Rodon on the hill for the Yankees, the lefty-hitting Cabbage will retreat to the bench, paving the way for Eduardo Escobar to pick up a start at first base. Cabbage, who went 4-for-10 with a pair of doubles and two RBI while starting each of the past three games, should have a fairly clear path to playing time versus right-handed pitching so long as both Anthony Rendon (shin) and Brandon Drury (shoulder) are on the IL.

Knocks three hits Cabbage went 3-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's loss to Houston.

Impact Cabbage went 0-for-2 in his first two MLB appearances but broke through with a three-hit game Sunday. His first career hit was a single in the second inning followed by a two-run double in the fourth. Cabbage slashed .287/.358/.576 with 23 homers at the Triple-A level and could maintain regular playing time in the MLB if his bat continues to keep pace.

Makes big-league debut Cabbage grounded out as a pinch hitter in his only plate appearance against Houston on Friday.

Impact Cabbage received his first major-league call-up Friday and pinch hit for Michael Stefanic in the eighth inning, grounding into a fielder's choice with a pair of runners on base and one out. Cabbage has impressed in the minors over the past two seasons, including at Triple-A this year, where he slashed .287/.358/.576 with 23 homers, 64 RBI and 24 steals -- albeit with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate -- over 81 games. The 26-year-old may get a decent look with the Angels currently wracked by injuries to multiple position players, but he isn't expected to see an everyday role.

JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Contract purchased Friday Cabbage's contract was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Impact The 26-year-old has seen time at first base, right field and left field this year at Triple-A while slashing .287/.358/.576 with 23 home runs and 24 steals in 81 games. He hits the ball very hard, but his 31.3 percent strikeout rate and age suggest he could be a Quad-A hitter.
